THE SUPREME PASSIONS OF MAN. By Dr. Paul Paquin, M.D., V.M. 
(Little Blue Book Co., Battle Creek.) 
A well-known writer in veterinary and scientific subjects has 
in this little addition to the Little Blue Book series of publica¬ 
tions brought forth a semi-scientific and semi-religious treatise 
on “ The Supreme Passions of Man,” which he dedicates to his 
mother and to his beloved wife. This fact alone is sufficient

sions ” is full of pertinent suggestions and profitable thought 
relating to the subject of which it treats, with wise conclu¬ 
sions and valuable suggestions, and forms a magazine of good 
counsel and items of excellent advice which no man can fail 
to find profitable if well heeded.

Forms of the Horse, published in 1850, there has been nothing 
in English written on this important subject. This transla¬ 
tion of the standard European work of Goubaux and Barrier, 
therefore, fills up an important vacancy in our veterinary 
literature. The translation of Prof. Harger has, therefore, 
come just in time, and his selections of the French book must
